Description
An inexpensive paper used for printing newspapers and student sketch pads. Newsprint is primarily made from mechanical pulp (>85%) with some chemical pulp and very little mineral content. It is produced by high speed machines which result in unidirectional fiber orientation. Newsprint is strong, has good opacity, a smooth, lint-free surface and high oil absorption. Intended only for short term use, newsprint has a high lignin content and degrades quickly by discoloring and becoming brittle.
